In Awka, most shops were shut, and vehicles were off the roads, leaving only a few individuals to trek or forgo their engagements.


The reports from Onitsha and Nnewi and other major cities were the same.

One of the tricycle drivers in Awka, Mr. Chuks Madu, stated that “only an unreasonable person would venture out on days like this when security is lacking.”


According to him, the government has not provided enough security to instill confidence in the people.
